Abstract
A peripheral for an umbrella having a shaft, a handle and a canopy includes a power source, a sensor for determining when the canopy is open or closed, a light emitting diode (LED) on the top of the umbrella for outputting light, a MEMS accelerometer for determining physical orientations of the umbrella, and a processor for determining whether the umbrella is upright when the physical orientations of the umbrella are within a range of angles wherein the processor is for determining whether the umbrella is in a down configuration when the physical orientations of the umbrella are outside the range of angles, wherein the processor is for coupling the LED to the power source in response to the umbrella being upright and open, and wherein the processor is for decoupling the LED from the power source in response to the umbrella being in a down configuration and closed.
